Real Man 7: Mr. Despicable (Mark 3:18)
We are deeply sinful, flawed, broken, despicable people. The only difference between our inner persons is this–some of us show our sinful natures outwardly more than others, but all of us are capable of horrible sin and cruel behavior. And every person alive is tremendously guilty.
Real Man #6 Nathanael, Mr. Genuine (Mark 3:18 & John 1:43-51)
Being authentic is desperately needed today, and that is why the New Testament calls for Christians to be sincere and genuine. Of all people on the planet, Christians are to be the most genuine.

Real Man 5: Mr. Limiting (Mark 3:18)
Prior to the birth of the Church with the coming of the Spirit, Philip could not seem to escape his narrow, negative, limiting ways. But God saves men like Philip, and some of you here who are just like Philip–and God can use Philips in great ways.
Real Man 4: Mr. Potential (Mark 3:18)
And God desires to take every man, woman and child here today and transform you into a tool for His glory–a vessel to show off Christ, a servant of the King. And for you men, He wants you to lead like a servant, be responsible for your families, serve in His church, and share the Gospel in this world.
Real Man 3: Mr. Love (Mark 3:17)
You say you love Christ, but you prove it by your conduct. You say you love this church, yet you show it with your service. You say you love your family, you evidence it by your behavior. You say you love a person, yet only if you sacrifice for them.
The Imperatives of Parenting (Eph 6:1-4)
Look at all the books you find on parenting in the Christian bookstore–book after book. You would think that there would at least be one chapter devoted to parenting in the Bible. I fear sometimes we make parenting way too complex, when Scripture is so clear. It is like a knife pinpointed at the truths of parenting.
Real Man 2: Mr. Zeal (Mark 3:17)
Zeal is the fire that keeps a believer hot. Every single Christian needs zeal, and the Church today is dying a slow death of compromise and convenience because of the lack of men and women of zeal for Christ.
The Cancer of Pride
Pride is at work whenever you aspire to the status and position of God, and refuse to acknowledge your dependence on Him. At the root, it is self-glorification–making yourself equal to or better than God.
What’s Most Important in Life? The Last Sayings of Christ (Easter 2012)
For the Christian, this life is the worst it ever gets. And for those without Jesus, this life is the best it gets. This life is the only hell for a Christian, and sadly, this life is the only heaven for the non-Christian. And that’s what dealing with death does–it brings into focus what’s most important.
Real Man 1: Mr. Initiate (Mark 3:16)
No man becomes a godly man without a long painful process of disciplined study and painful trials, suffering and heartache. Real men know the growth of a godly man is a process that combines the truth of the Word of God, the community of the Church, the heat of trials and temptations, and the passing of time to forge a man or a woman of God.
Real Men Belong to Christ and Each Other (Mark 3:16a)
God doesn’t necessarily use popular men, good looking men, rich men, or athletic men. God uses real men, genuine men, flawed men, and weak men to be his tools. God desires for men to love their wives, train their children, lead His Church and impact this world for the Gospel.
